About

The floor of the tunnel and pavement on I-84 between Multnomah Falls and Cascade Locks is aging and rutting. Repairs are needed to extend the life of the highway and smooth out the ride for travelers. 

To repair this infrastructure in 2022, we repaved 13 miles of I-84, resurfaced several bridges, and repaired the I-84 east Exit 41 off-ramp toward Eagle Creek where the bridge surface has deteriorated. Work on the Toothrock Tunnel will be complete in 2023.
